Projected Lineup: March 19 at Columbus

Vladimir Tarasenko will not be in the lineup Saturday when the Blues meet the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena (4 p.m. CT, BSMW, 101 ESPN).
Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said Tarasenko was sick and would miss Saturday's game.

Robert Thomas is expected to be back after missing two games with an illness.
With Tarasenko out, Berube said he will use seven defensemen against the Blue Jackets, meaning Jake Walman would return to the lineup.
VIlle Husso is expected to start in goal based on pregame warm-ups.
